Forgot Your IP Address Username or Password?

If you’ve forgotten your IP address username or password, or if they aren’t working, you can:

  1. Check the router’s manual, box, or the back of the router for default login credentials.

How to Change Your Router’s IP Address

While your Internet Service Provider (ISP) usually preassigns the default gateway IP address, you can change it for various reasons, such as improving security, preventing unauthorized access, or avoiding DDoS attacks. Here’s how to change the router’s IP address on different brands:

TP-Link

  1. Log in to your router’s admin panel at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (default username and password: admin/admin).
  2. Navigate to Advanced Settings > Network > LAN.
  3. In the IP Address field, change it to your desired address (e.g., 192.168.1.2).
  4. Save the settings, and the router will reboot to apply the changes.

D-Link

  1. Log in to your router’s configuration page (default username: admin, password: admin or blank).
  2. Go to Setup > Network Settings.
  3. Locate the Router IP Address field and change it to your preferred address.
  4. Save the settings.

NETGEAR

  1. Log in to the NetGear settings page using 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or by going to http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. The default username is admin, and the default password is password.
  2. Navigate to Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup.
  3. Under LAN TCP/IP Setup, you will see the IP Address field. Change it to your desired address, like 10.10.10.1.
  4. Apply the changes, and the router will reboot to update the settings.

If anything goes wrong during the process, you can always reset your router to factory settings to undo any changes.

Securing Your WiFi Network

Protecting your WiFi network is crucial to prevent unauthorized access. Here are some essential security tips:

  • Enable WPA2 encryption.
  • Set a strong password.
  • Disable WPS, as it’s an outdated synchronization method.
  • Use MAC address filtering for additional security.
  • Regularly update your router’s firmware.
